Arctic shrank to its smallest size on record ...

... in September 2007.

How come that's still news? Why don't they mention it's increased in size since then?

I must admit that their way of measuring thickness - measure height above sea level by satellite and times by ten - is pretty cunning, assuming that it's accurate.

They never seem to remember to mention that "the record" in question only dates back to about 1979 either. (ie when satellite survey first started).

Or was it 1978?

The Sunday Times displays its warmist credentials and refers to this piece of warmist propaganda while it does so.

Solely on the basis of "following the money", I suspect that Murdoch must anticpate making a fortune somewhere along the line from supporting this nonsense.

U, that last bit of propaganda was brought to you by "James Cameron ... a founder and vice-chairman of Climate Change Capital, the investment manager and adviser specialising in the low-carbon economy". So the trail of money is quite short in his instance.
